What are your Bucket List Golf Trips/Destinations ?

At a stage in my life where I'd like to start ticking off some bucket list golf destinations. At 60 years of age don't want to take time for granted and als...

I don't really have a must- do-one-day golf destination desire. I just love playing the game with friends, family, and ho-ing different clubs. Living the retired dream.

What he said. Just look forward to the next round - and the next new/used club to try. Retirement Special. 🏌

I've been fortunate enough to have checked a few off already. St. Andrews, Bandon Dunes, Kapalua, Whistling Straits to name a few.

The Cabot Resorts courses hit my list as soon as I saw what they are building in St. Lucia. Now I want to play them all!

Obviously knew of Cabot Cliffs and Links and know many who have played them but had not heard of Cabot St. Lucia....Looks Incredible !
I'm in when we going ?

There is also Cabot Pacific in the Mountains of British Columbia ( Revelstoke ) set to open in 2024. Cabot golf isn't cheap $400-$500/round with caddy but I guess that's about what we paid at Bandon Dunes.

A little late to the party here. When I think of golf trips, I want at least 3 days of play on different courses. My bucket list trips would be:

Scotland(pretty much anywhere)
Bandon Dunes
Mesquite Nevada
Pinehurst
Hawaii

I have done several SoCal trips and have only knocked off one bucket course list at Torrey Pines. Palm Springs was great for golf but it was too much like AZ. I will be playing my 2nd bucket list course in March. We are doing a trip to Maui and I am gonna play Kapalua and at least one other course.

When you get to a certain age, your golf game doesn't travel very well. For many years, my teaching friends
and I would travel to Jeckyll Island, Ga. every year at spring break and play 27 holes a day and party every
night. After we retired, we stayed closer to home and took several trips to Gull Lake, Michigan for a 3 day trip.
Now, I'm just happy to play twice a week (with a day off in between rounds to rest the old bones!) at local
courses within an hour's drive.

If I had to choose a destination trip though it would be to Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, or the many beautiful looking
courses in Northern Michigan.

Yeah. My bucket list just has one golf item on it.

Keep playing.

St Andrew’s would be the ultimate trip. I’m going to hit up Pebble Beach at some point, Pinehurst is just down the road, I just need to get myself over there. Those have always been my wish list.

DC300

St. Andrew’s is worth every penny they charge for it. The ball lower on the ground goes a long way there. In the past I had hit a very high cut or high straight ball. I was put with a couple older gentleman that were hitting low running piss missiles that went just about as far as I did.

There’s also a nice museum right next door, if you’re into that sort of thing.

What a great trip. I'd say have fun, but if you don't...... 🏌

DC300

Cwing nice, resort back on which Pinehurst you like the best!

Bravopilot

Cwing The Highland course is rated very high in VA, lots of great reviews. A tad pricey for me and my game (lack of). Looks very nice and nice to add on your way to NC.

Typhoon

Cwing Make sure your legs/cardio are in shape for walking! The 2 pros from our course and some friends went on a trip like that and they made sure they walked a couple weeks here before going.

DC300

colej I will get there, guess I’ll use the 3 wood off the tee for my version of the stinger. I use it when it’s windy here, the ball never gets more than maybe 35ft in the air and just bores, great for the summer months too.

Cwing

Body is ready. Game? Not so sure so…….

Prep:

just played 7-days in a row down in Myrtle a few weeks ago.
been walking since retirement. Walk multiple times per week. No less than 2.2 miles and up to 5.25 miles each time.
selected to product test the Golfforever app / workout system over on GWrx. It took about 2-weeks of use and then I’ve not needed Icy Hot type of products in several months and that includes the period in which I played 7 consecutive.

Second time to Pinehurst. Same group and we played the following in 2018:

Pinehurst #4
Dormie Club
Pine Needles
Tobacco Road.

Loved #4 and Tobacco Road.
